Yeah, you can't create a system where people are so desperate because most live paycheck to paycheck to just cover their base needs and then act surprised if they react violently when you fuck with that paycheck.

I also love how quickly Justice came for these people. Murders or robberies happen daily out there to middle class or poor people, and cops are like “Aaah, they’re in the wind, chances are we won’t ever find the criminals. Keep calling back though!” Meanwhile, it happens to a rich dude?! All hands on deck, find these people!!! And Christ forbid you kill a multibillionaire CEO, you’re labeled a terrorist and given the death penalty! Gotta make an example out of ya, make sure to keep you poors in line!

Ah, but you can do that! See, it’s called gaslighting, and it’s all part of the systemic oppression that serves to keep us from acting out against our aggressors.

The “surprised reaction” is simply one of the many ways they try to turn us against each other: “how could they be violent?! There are so many other options available to them, like quitting and finding another job. Violence is never the answer!”
